We’ve been handling drain issues throughout Kings Beach and the greater Lake Tahoe area for years. Our 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews tells you what our customers already know—we show up when we say we will, fix what needs fixing, and charge exactly what we quote.
Many properties around Kings Beach rely on septic systems instead of city sewer connections. We adjust our approach accordingly, using septic-safe methods that won’t disrupt your system’s bacterial balance. Our technicians understand local plumbing challenges, from seasonal property demands to the unique pipe configurations common in this area.
We’re the plumbing company that actually answers the phone at 3 AM when your main line backs up, and we’ll be there fast with the right equipment to handle whatever’s causing the problem.
First, we run a video inspection to see exactly what we’re dealing with. No guessing, no assumptions—we show you the footage so you understand what’s causing the backup and what it’ll take to fix it permanently.
Next, we choose the right method for your specific situation. For simple hair and debris clogs, drain snaking usually does the job efficiently. For recurring clogs or heavily built-up pipes, we use hydro-jetting with up to 4000 PSI of water pressure to completely clear pipes and remove buildup from pipe walls.
After clearing the blockage, we run another camera inspection to confirm everything flows properly. You’ll see the before and after footage yourself. We also check for any pipe damage or areas that might cause problems down the road, so you know exactly what you’re dealing with.

Every drain cleaning includes thorough diagnostic inspection, professional cleaning using the right equipment for your specific blockage, and verification that water flows properly when we’re done. We clean up our work area and explain exactly what we found and fixed.

We handle all types of drain issues—kitchen sinks clogged with grease, bathroom drains full of hair and soap buildup, floor drains backing up, and main line blockages affecting multiple fixtures. For Kings Beach properties with septic systems, we use methods that won’t harm your system’s bacterial balance or damage older septic lines.
Most drain cleaning jobs take 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the location and severity of the clog. Simple hair or debris clogs close to the drain usually take about half an hour. Main line blockages or heavily built-up pipes can take longer, especially if we need to use hydro-jetting for a thorough cleaning.
We always run a video inspection first, which adds about 15 minutes but saves time overall because we know exactly what we’re dealing with. For Kings Beach properties with septic systems, we take extra care to ensure our methods won’t disrupt your system, which might add a few minutes to the process but protects your investment long-term.
Drain snaking uses a flexible cable with cutting attachments to break through blockages—it’s effective for most clogs and costs less. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water up to 4000 PSI to completely clear pipes and remove buildup from pipe walls, which prevents future clogs longer.
We choose the method based on your specific situation and what our video inspection reveals. For recurring clogs or heavily built-up pipes, hydro-jetting often provides better long-term results. For simple hair or debris clogs, snaking usually does the job efficiently and costs less. We’ll explain which approach makes sense for your situation and budget before starting any work.
Absolutely. Many Kings Beach properties rely on septic systems, and we adjust our approach accordingly. We use septic-safe methods that won’t disrupt the bacterial balance in your septic tank, and we’re careful with hydro-jetting pressure to prevent damage to older septic lines.
We avoid harsh chemicals that can kill the beneficial bacteria your septic system needs to function properly. Instead, we rely on mechanical methods like snaking and controlled water pressure to clear blockages. Our technicians understand how septic systems work and know which cleaning methods will solve your drain problem without creating septic issues down the road.
Store-bought drain cleaners often just punch a hole through the clog instead of removing it completely, so the blockage builds back up quickly. Worse, these chemicals can corrode your pipes over time, especially with repeated use, leading to expensive pipe repairs or replacements.
Professional drain cleaning removes the entire blockage and cleans buildup from pipe walls, which prevents quick re-clogging. Our video inspection also reveals if there are underlying issues like pipe damage, root intrusion, or structural problems causing recurring clogs. Fixing the root cause means your drains stay clear longer instead of backing up again in a few weeks.
Most drain cleaning in Kings Beach ranges from $110 to $275 for standard sink, tub, or toilet drains. Main line clogs typically cost between $100 and $800 depending on severity and how far the blockage sits from the access point. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Our pricing includes the diagnostic inspection, professional cleaning, verification that everything flows properly, and cleanup. No surprise charges for equipment fees or “additional problems discovered” during the job. Many of our customers find the final cost comes in below our initial estimate, especially when the problem turns out to be simpler than expected.
